1. She Led An Outdoor Fitness Session For Charity

Hunziker likes to share her workouts with her fans, and she once led an outdoor workout session in 2018. This event wasn’t just a way for Hunziker to workout with others, it also benefited a great cause. All the profits went towards the Doppa Difesa organization, which is a charity that helps survivors of domestic abuse.

2. She Remembers To Stretch

Hunziker posts a lot of her go-to exercises and workout routines on Facebook lives. And she remembers to start her workout with a session of stretching and warming up. The first thing Hunziker and her trainer do in this Facebook live workout video is a series of stretches. They are seen doing forward bends, oblique stretches, and working out their arms. It is important to do some stretches before doing an intense workout. According to Harvard Health, “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

3. She Works Out Her Legs

Hunziker has a stunning set of gams, and she got them for a reason. In the same workout video on Facebook Live, Hunziker and her trainers are seen doing a lot of leg workouts. They are seen doing front lunges, leg lifts, squat step outs, and cross lunges. Leg workouts are important, and the expression “Don’t skip leg day,” rings true. The Mayo Clinic emphasizes the important of a varied and balanced workout. “Whether you create your own fitness training program or enlist the help of a personal trainer, your overall exercise plan should include several elements.”

4. She Uses A Chair In Her Workouts

Chairs aren’t just for sitting down. At least, they aren’t for Hunziker and her trainers. In their Facebook Live, Hunziker and her trainers do a lot of workouts with a chair. They are seen doing push ups, arm raises, and leg lifts with their hands on the chair. Multicare.org reports, “Whether it’s from your office, the comfort of your own home or in a class format, chair exercises are a great low-impact way to incorporate movement into your routine.”

5. She Does Workouts That Help Her Back

Hunziker revealed in an interview with Oggi that she had to make a lot of changes to her workout routine. She used to do a lot of outdoor sports, but a back injury prevented her from doing so. She then decided to do workouts that would help her back and posture. “I sneezed and my back got stuck. It is there that I discovered postural gymnastics which, together with pilates, changed my life, I never had pain again.”
